outfit du jour: we used to wait/kreativ blogger award

This outfit is one I was pretty disappointed in. I had been very excited about this dress, and I still am. It's yellow, has long sleeves, hand made, vintage, most likely from the '60s...what's not to love? But when I put it on...it's a different story. It just doesn't feel like me and it's kinda big. I gave it a shot though yesterday and while I love the dress, I don't think it's something that I feel right in, so if you like it too, keep an eye out. It'll probably end up on Etsy soon. Also, if you leave a comment or become a follower, I'll always return the favor!

Also, one of my favorite bloggers, Georgia at Want To I Think I Love You has been kind enough to give me the Kreativ Blogger Award. So I'm going to tell you ten facts about myself and then give you a few bloggers you absolutely need to know about. Facts:

1. I have always loved thrifting and vintage clothes. I was that weird girl in high school who wore thrifted things and probably confused everyone just a little bit. I even loved getting Christmas presents for my family at thrift stores when I was very young.



2. I don't really enjoy watching movies. They just kind of bore me. I'd rather read, 95% of the time.


3. I have the worst sinus/allergy problems. I deal with them on a daily basis and spring just makes it worse.


4. All the money I spend on clothes...I'd rather spend it on music.


5. I used to hate pasta and now all I want to eat is ravioli in marinara sauce or fettucini alfredo.


6. My favorite colors right now are all neutrals: creams, whites, greys, tans, black, etc.


7. I love hot weather and I can't wait for it to get here to actually stay.


8. I keep my toenails painted all the time because I don't like the look of plain toenails.


9. Watching Coachella live from home this weekend was kind of amazing. I'd guess better than being there.


10. I am terrible at braiding hair. I wish I were better.
